Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Building Information Modelling and Asset Management

BIM is the management of information through the whole lifecycle of a built asset. It delivers value by underpinning the creation, collation and exchange of shared models and corresponding structured data.

BIM and asset management should be considered as mutually beneficial activities: BIM supports decision making, planning and process execution.

Application Guide to Building Information Modelling and Asset Management

Since 2016, BIM has been mandated by UK Government for central government funded projects, under the Government Construction Strategy. Most developments since the launch of this strategy have focused on BIM for design and construction.

However, the strategy’s core objectives are to maximise whole life value and to minimise whole life costs and risks. To support these objectives, the ICE and the IAM are developing an application guide.

This short factsheet introduces the purpose, scope and content of the planned guide. You will also find information about how to contribute to the guide so that it meets user needs.
